"Hey! It's hard! ”

Zheng Yuan returned from the field and let out a long sigh.

It's been more than half a month since I came to Taicang.

However, those officials colluded together, but there was not a single flaw.

And Zheng Yuanshi is weak and has no background, so it is difficult to compete with him.

What's even more serious is that now that there is a severe drought, the rice in Taicang should be filled, but there is no sufficient water source to irrigate.

The Liuhe River, which is more than ten meters wide, is now only a few meters wide.

It's just that getting water is a problem.

As the water level drops, so does the riverbed.

What is even more infuriating is that some local gentry actually united and set up a toll point in Liuhe.

Only if you pay the copper coin, you can fetch water!

If you are unwilling to pay, you are not allowed to fetch water.

It was not that the villagers resisted, but they were quickly suppressed.

How could a bare-handed peasant rely on brute force alone to fight a county government soldier with a well-armed weapon?

However, rice is in dire need of water.

The helpless people of Taicang can only buy water for irrigation.

Every citizen buys water with care.

I'm afraid I'll spill a bit!

Even many people are already thirsty, their lips are chapped and bleeding, and they are reluctant to drink a sip of water!

After all, every sip of water is bought with copper coins!

Zheng Yuan's hatred!

These people are simply not sons of man.

It's just a matter of squeezing the people on weekdays.

At this time of crisis, he actually launched a national disaster!

It's not that Zheng Yuan hasn't theorized.

But the little official who charged the fee actually ignored him, the county master.

In the end, a scholar-like man took out a piece of deed paper and said:

"In this paper, it is written in black and white that my lord has been rewarded with this river! Then this Liuhe River is my master's! ”

"It's the king of heaven who is here, and if you want to get water, you have to give money!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Because the deed paper does have the ownership of the Liu River written in black and white.

And it's stamped with the official seal!

Zheng Yuan could only hold back the depression in his heart, and observed the situation of the people while following the example of the people to buy water to water the land.

At the same time, record what the person did.

As one of the incriminating evidence to denounce them in the future.

As for the case in Taicang County, Zheng Yuan only watched coldly.

He already understood that those county officials and wardens were all lackeys of the family!

During the period when they were ignoring their own affairs, they received hundreds of taels of bribes!

Of course, he kept all kinds of grievances in his heart, just waiting for a suitable opportunity to bring down the evil forces, and then for the people.

It's just that this is a little far away in Zheng Yuan's eyes.

Also feeling difficult is Zhao Xiuzhu.

With the help of the tribal chieftain, he recovers the lost books.

I also understood the formula of the pesticide to treat locusts.

It's just that a lot of it is hard to get here!

Zhao Xiuzhu had no choice but to let it go first, and started the idea of biological control of locusts.

So, every day, Zhao Xiuzhu took hundreds of geese to run around, looking for a gathering place for locusts.

The forests of Lingnan are also treacherous.

Zhao Xiuzhu fell many times, and almost didn't break his head and bleed.

And He Xiang, the teacher of Kaiyang County Private School on the side, admired him.

I thought that this new county magistrate was just here to mess around, but I didn't expect him to be able to personally drive a group of geese around Kaiyang County!

However, the effects of biological treatment of locusts are slowly beginning to show.

It is true that the number of locusts planted by the plagued tribes has decreased.

And the tribal chief kept his promise and let the little scholar go.

But Zhao Xiuzhu was still not satisfied.

Because he remembered that Master Qin Fan once said:

Locusts will come out of a long drought!

Now that so many days of drought have passed, locusts must have laid huge numbers of locust eggs in many sandy areas.

(This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 172: The Three in the Experience

After a while, the rain has fallen, and the eggs hatch.

Hundreds of thousands of locusts will come in all over the world!

Now this small locust plague, he can still resist it.

But if the form intensifies, the locust grows in size.

Zhao Xiuzhu can't stand it!

"Difficult! It's so hard! Master, how do I deal with locusts? ”

Driving the goose back to the goose pen, Zhao Xiuzhu couldn't help but sigh at the sky.

Compared to the dilemma faced by the two brothers.

Cui Yao's current situation is even more dire.

He's lost again!

The Liuzhao tribe is located in Yunnan, and the terrain is intricate.

And a lot of swamps.

It breeds all kinds of biogas and feeds all kinds of poisonous insects!

But Cui Yao obviously felt that he had been traveling all the way south for a long time.

But I still can't find a way out!

The Nanzhao tribe should be close at hand.

But Cui Yao couldn't find the other party's location.

What made him even more embarrassed was that he had run out of food!

Although there was a wild boar that was given for free, it was able to take meat for cooking.

However, after all these times, even though Cui Yao has collected wild vegetables and fruits many times to fill the family.

But the meat was eaten quickly!

Such a large wild boar was reduced to white bones and buried in the earth.

Cui Yao habitually bypassed a swamp and sighed as he looked at the road ahead.

There is no shortage of water here.

No matter how bad it is, you can get dew on the leaves to quench your thirst.

But the source of the food really stumped Cui Yao.

I thought it was to adjust the contradictions, but I took it over and became a wilderness to survive.

Not to mention that it has changed the land and returned to the stream, even the trace of the Nanzhao tribe has not yet been seen.

Although there are many kinds of mushrooms in the land of these six edicts, there are also many edible mushrooms.

But after all, there was a lesson from the past, and Cui Yao really didn't dare to try these mushrooms again.

But apart from the fungus, there are not many other things to eat here.

There are some small animals in the mountains and forests.

It's just that it's hard to catch.

Cui Yao tried his best, but not only did he not catch it, but the little beast also sprinkled a bubble of urine on the top of his head, which made Cui Yao choke with anger.

As for prey of the size of a wild boar, it is even more difficult to find.

And the six edicts have another characteristic, that is, there are many poisonous insects!

Pick up a stone casually.

Maybe there's a chopstick-thick centipede hidden behind it!

Toads, spiders, etc. are also available.

And it's colorful, and it's highly poisonous at first glance!

This also made Cui Yao's sleep unable to sleep peacefully!

Always beware of all kinds of insects crawling on your body to give yourself a bite.

After all, there was only one bottle of antidote pill given by Master Qin Fan.

In case you eat it all and get poisoned again.

That's really powerless!

I just trekked through the jungle for a few days.

Cui Yao's eyes were already deeply sunken and black.

Chapped lips and a sallow complexion.

The whole person's complexion is very bad!

Maybe it's really the limit, or maybe it's a miracle.

Just as Cui Yao was about to fall, he saw a cloud of cooking smoke in the distance!

He was agitated and pinched his thigh.

"Shhh It hurts! ”

Cui Yao's face was happy, and the pain was not an illusion.

I really found the local natives!

Cui Yao ran wildly towards the place where the smoke rose regardless of the image!
